Lovely story! Sad but realistic. If Snape had survived he would have needed a great deal of help to find healing. Canon Dumbledore had a lot to answer for in his treatment of both Harry and Severus. Well done!

It's so funny that you mentioned in the last Chap that this was all based on "Sorrow" because I was literally listening to A Momentary Lapse as I was reading this and totally wondering to myself if you made that connection intentionally! Made my day! Thank you! You're the best!
